This is a documentary about a boy (Ben Underwood) who has taught himself to use echo location to navigate around the world. Ben Underwood is blind, but has managed to do some truly extraordinary feats. I've cut this documentary up into 5 parts, and all can be found in my profile, or below.

sotovo Says:

Jan 31, 2010 - Our street fighter cabinet's screen went dead. We began playing without the picture, just relying on the sounds. At times one can know where the opponent is, and what move they are doing, but most of the time playing is closer to an educated guess.
